NCT ID NCT07506200
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special exercise program (neuromuscular re-education) against standard therapy for people with cervical radiculopathy, a condition causing neck pain, numbness, and weakness in one arm. Researchers will measure pain, neck movement, and daily function in 52 adults aged 30-50. The goal is to see if these targeted exercises provide better relief than usual care.
